COEUR d’ALENE — It wasn’t a home-course advantage per se, but Post Falls resident Scott Voyles wasn’t complaining Sunday morning.
Actually, when he’d been told that the swim portion of the Ironman 70.3 Coeur d’Alene was shortened due to high winds, he just knew it was going to work out for him.
“Swimming is my weak area,” Voyles said. “When they made it shorter, it really played to my strengths. It was actually a nice, cool day and the breeze felt nice on the course. When they told us about the swim, I knew it was going to be in my favor.”
